*Dur N»w Water Supply. ' . TUf water from the- new work* was turnni into the 'city main* Tuesday, . murh tn the grailficsti .n of our eUren*. Tutoday evening it wee reported that the new tank bad setth-rt no tliat the foundation would have to be Tel a id, but like many other rumor* which have been given currency In regard in this matter, invrstigslhm showed that the facta had bren greatly exaggerated. When the enormous Weight of 60.000 gallons of water waa put upon the iron frame which support* the tank, the mere tightening of the bracer cauaed It to aettle the fractional part of an Inch, which waa sufficient to make a leak in one of the joint* of the supply pipe to the tank. Thia waa quickly repaired and the machinery at the new works ia now working smoothly and sat- ___ Ufaetnrilv. There have "bren so many exaggerated, not to aav false, reports made in reg/ril to the cost of this water. , works extension, that a brief statement of the coat of jhis very important im- . provemenl . wiH he of interest to tbe | public. Tlie contract witli It. D. Wood , ftt'o., amounts to $15,957.10. payable . in See annual payments, the drat being . . due one year from the completion of the | •w«k as sperltled in the contrert. JTte ; above amount includes interest and prin- | elpal. I The city has the right under the eontract, to purchase the works on the basis gf a cos' of ♦1127100. the annual charge 1 for the rental of tbe works bring 10'per I cent upon the cost price. The ground ! noon which the new works have been 1 erected, was purchased by the city for ' ♦1.0(H). the lot containing five acres. The 1 coat of rinking ihe wells and connecting ' them up, was $1,000. This brings the ' total cost of tbe improvement up to ' $1 ykWJIO. which amount, it must be re- 1 mem tiered, includes the Interest on tbe ' Wood contract f-.r five years. The orlgl- I nal cost of Introducing water Into the < d'y and the various amounts expended ' In Impr ivement* and experiments aince, 1 aggregate about $.">0,000. Of this amount ' • probably $1.1,000 may be considered ' balance .has bc-n spent mostly experi. < mentally. ' Had the water supply bren brought ■ from !be main hndin-thc. first place, it i is probable that tne money spent would ' and much naeles* expenditure avoided. I It la now expected that the entire" water « supply will he brought from the new « works, and that the pumping stations within the city limits will be abandoned.
